The Hermitage Natural Area in New Castle, Delaware, is a designated wildlife safety zone owned by the Trustees of New Castle Common, providing a serene environment for hiking, photography, and nature study. This area, once the site of a historic mansion that burned down in 2007, now features trails and a diverse ecosystem that supports clean water, fresh air, and local wildlife.
With a rich history dating back to a Dutch grant in 1656, the Hermitage has transformed from cultivated farmland to a natural haven, emphasizing the importance of native plants and biodiversity. The area is actively maintained through expert consultation and community involvement, aiming to restore and preserve its unique ecological landscape.
